Finasteride - 1.25mg Everyday vs Every other day

[akai]

Currently take 1.25mg every other day, no sides. Would there be a benefit in switching to everyday?

Take a look of the image attached here. I don't think you even need 1.25mg... I am now using 0.5mg every 2 days and the results on my DHT levels (I tested several times to prove this) is very low compared with my baseline before starting taking anything.

My DHT levels remain almost 40% down on the 2nd day after I take 0.5mg with 0 sides effects.

Obviously all depend on your initial DHT levels and how sensitive is your hair to the DHT but I am very happy with my dosage and I am finally out of any side effects.

Good luck.

This kind of info is good stuff. If there comes a time where I start to experience sides from fin, I would not be opposed to experimenting with the dose. Some fin in your system fighting DHT is better than no fin and DHT kicking your hairs ass.

Slight but yes

Thanks. I was taking 0.5mg before but it's a lot cheaper to split the 5mg tablets into fourths. I'll probably just stick to every other day as I've had no problems in the few years I've been on finasteride. If I'm reading that chart right (approx):

5mg-25%
1.5mg-32%
0.5mg-41%
0.2-55%
